The educational mural paintings will help children enjoy more attractive classrooms which we believe will help their creativity, enjoyment and learning experience. The work was quite intensive as it had to be completed in around four weeks, but we are glad that the project was completed in time.

On 16 August, we had a premiere - we managed to have a live teams call with the teachers and students on the island Nosy Komba!

All thanks to Tiago Soares, ESA Staff and Sunshine in Nosy Komba's project manager, and volunteer Elena Galletti, who normally works for HE Space at ESTEC as a radio navigation engineer and who are on a working holiday on the island.

The Sunshine in Nosy Komba project is carried out on the island of Nosy Komba, Madagascar, initiated and supported by ESA staff. It focuses on education, health care and economic development. HE Space Children's Foundation has supported this project since the early days.

Tiago and Elena introduced us to the students Rachiad (highschool) and Judicael (university) and teachers (Valeria, Myriam and Hervenot) and trainee teachers (Oané and Jadamaria) of the campus who spoke good English - normally they speak Malagasy or French. We were impressed with the progress made with help of the cybercafe to produce school books, as you can see from the picture below. The teachers’ training project has really taken off and we were able to talk to a trainee teacher for the youngest pupils, aged 3 – 4, and a secondary school teacher. We also talked to one of the university students who explained that they learn a lot from the internet.

Tiago gave us an update about all the other initiatives they are currently working on. During their visit with other volunteers from ESA, they have worked on solar power supplies for the school and health centre. They have also worked on a water filtering system so people can get clean water to drink.

The school was in need of repairs. The floors of the dorms, where the pupils sleep above the schoolroom, were damaged by termites and needed to be replaced. The volunteers will also help to make a fitness area outside.

HE Space employee, Santiago Martínez Villalba, initiated a project to lift children out of the poverty from which they come in Haiti. The project will be run by NPH, an organisation that aims to guarantee an education from kindergarten to university. The project by the HE Space Children's Foundation provides and assures the access to appropriate and needed school materials for 74 vulnerable children in 4th grade of elementary school in the rural area of Kenscoff Mountains. The goals of the project are:

To ensure the necessary school materials that will enable all students of 4th grade Elementary education to better learn at St. Hèléne school and develop their unique potential learning, and therefore become in the future, productive members of their society.Make sure all students of 4th grade Elementary education stay at school throughout the year without abandoning their education as individuals due to extreme poverty and lack of money to pay for their school materials.Diminish the level of frustration of many families in Haiti living in extreme poverty conditions, that lead to truancy and school failure because they cannot afford to pay for schooling and school materials.

We wish Santiago and Javier Adsará Grau a successful start to their project.
